Lowered into place on October 21st 2024 This magnificent structure is 38 metres long and weighs about 40 tons.

It replaces a brick bridge on what was originally the Great Central Railway and creates a direct route between Staveley and the Trans Pennine Trail as part of the Chesterfield Canal Restoration

Great place to stop and enjoy the view. Seems to be a nice place for sunset and in the afternoon/evening. You can sit on the bench or there is a grassy area overlooking the fields.

Killamarsh was a railway station in Killamarsh, North East Derbyshire, England which served the village (now town) from its opening in 1899 until its closure in 1930. It was situated on the LD&ECR's line into Sheffield between Spinkhill and Woodhouse Mill stations.

Rother Valley Country Park

Highlight • Lake

Rother Valley Country Park is composed of four lakes, nature reserves and areas of parkland. The park was built on land that was open cast for coal, with the main excavation sites filled by the artificial lakes. These days, it is a popular place to visit for recreation and relaxation. There are plenty of gravel trails to explore. It can get busy at times, however, so be mindful of others.
